This is a nice park. Lots of parking and the Kokosing gap trail is easy to walk on. The gap trail is a great paved trail for biking or walking.
I rode the kokosing gap trail from Mt Vernon to Howard. Trail is well constructed and maintained. There are plenty of places to stop and enjoy the scenery.
Great bike trail 1/2 way between Bridge of Dreams and Mount Vernon. South leg goes through Kenyon College. Very nice restored train engine, coal car, caboose.
Awesome little place to stop. It is on the Kokosing Gap Trail. Not an extremely big parking lot to accommodate vehicles on a busy day. Get here early if you hope to find a place to park. Many people are parked here for a long time due to riding the trail for miles. But was really neat to see the bridge and an Ohio Historical site. They also have a drinking fountain and permanent outhouse for facilities.
We stopped here for a picnic. Great playground for the kids, ample amount of picnic tables and benches. The pit toilet has no toilet paper or hand sanitizer 😬
